Students to Experience Hands-on Sessions of the New Cube® and CubeProTM 3D Printers, SenseTM Scanning, Touch-based Design and More at 3DS’ Booth Teachers and Educators to Experience 3DS’ M.Lab21 Advanced Manufacturing Labs for High Schools in Action 3DS’ Debuts Make.Digital Educational Platform

The Smartforce Student Summit at IMTS introduces educators, students and parents to exciting new innovations in manufacturing technology. The Student Summit allows young people to interact with today’s manufacturing industry, helping them translate their STEM education into real-world results with high-tech and high-value careers.

At 3DS’ Student Summit booth, teachers and educators will be able to experience a demo of the recently launched M.Lab21, a 21st Century Manufacturing Lab that uses 3D design and printing technology to revolutionize high school industrial arts, career and technical education. Formed in partnership with SME and America Makes, M.Lab21 provides advanced hardware, software and training programs that, together, foster a new digital literacy.

3DS’ booth will also include interactive design, scan and 3D printing demos for students to participate in, including live scanning with the SenseTM 3D scanner, digital sculpting with the TouchTM haptic stylus and witness prints being brought to life on the new Cube® and CubeProTM 3D printers.

“Digital literacy through hands on, project-based learning using 3D printing technology is a key to instilling tomorrow’s skills today,” said Leanne Gluck, Director of Social Impact for 3DS. “Our long-term MAKE.DIGITAL initiative is delivering a full ecosystem of integrated tools, software and curriculum that empower students and education providers at every level.”

3DS’ participation at the Student Summit is part of its larger Make.Digital Initiative, which provides students with 21st century tools and 3D technology to hone innovation and creativity skills, learn real-world problem solving through project-based learning, and become competitive participants in the global economy. As part of this commitment, 3DS offers discounts on the company’s popular Cube series of desktop 3D printers, cartridges and easy-to-learn Cubify design software suite in a variety of classroom and lab ready kits.

3DS invites teachers, educators, non-profits and organizations passionate about youth education to join the MAKE.DIGITAL initiative and provide students with tomorrow’s skills today. Education inquiries can be made directly to [email protected].
